A CURE FOR FELON. - Take common salt, roasted on hot shovel until all the chlorine is thrown off or it Is as dry as you can make it. To teaspOonful, and also a teaspoonful of pnlver- ized castillo soap, add a teaspoon fnl of Nenine tnrpentine; mix them well into pouhiee and apply to the felon. If you have ten felons at once make as many poultices. Renew this pOnItice twice day. In four or five days your felon will, if not opened before your poultice is first put on, present a hole down to the bone, where the pent up matter was before yonr poultice brought it out. If the felOn has been cut open or opened itself or is abont to take off the finger to the first joint, no matter, put on your pOultice: it will stop right there, and in time your finger will get well even if one of the first bones is gone. Of course 1t will not restore the lost bone, but it will get we'll soon. Providence Journal.

A Car Conductors Mistake.

It happened the other day on the Lehigh railroad. The train had just left Easton, and the cou- ductor was making his first round, when he observed a small white dog with bushy tail and bright black eyes, sitting cozily on the seat beside young lady, so hand. some that it made his heart roll over like a lop sided pumpkin. But duty was duty, and he remarked in his most deprecatory manner:
 ''l'm very sorry, madam. but it's against the rules to have dogs in the passenger car"
 "Oh, my! is that so"' and she turned up two lovely brown eyes at him, beseechingly.
 "What in the world will l do! ] can't throw him away. He is a Christmas present from my aunt"
 By no means, miss. We'll put him in the baggage car and he'l be just happy as a robin in spring.
 "What, put my nice white dog in that nasty, dusty baggage car.."
 Pm awful sorry, Miss, l do as sure you, but the rules of this com pany are inhexihle as the law of the Medes, and them other fellows, you know. He shall nave my over. coat to lie on, and the brakemen shall give him bread and water ev- cry time he opens his mOuth.n
 Il just think it is awful mean. SD 1 do, and know somebody will steal me, so ] do," and she show ed a half notion to cry that nearly broke the conductors heart; but he was firm, and sang out to the breakman, who was playing solo on the stove:
 Here, Andy. take this dog over into the baggage car and tell 'em to take just the best kind of care of him.
 The young lady Pouted, but the brakeman reached over and picked the canine up as tenderly as though it was two weeks old baby: but as he did SO a strange eXpres sion came over his face like d wave of cramp collie, and he said hastily to the conductor:
 "Here. just hold him minute till l put this poker away" and he tOttered out of the car door and held on to the brake wheel, shak- ing like man in the ague. The conductor no sooner had his hands on the dog than he looked around for hole to fall through.
 "Who, wy-why, this is worst ed dogw
 ''Yes, sir" said the little miss, demurely, "didn't you know that"
 No; Pm sorry to say that l did not know that" and he laid the Christmas dog down in the owners lap and walked out on the plat form, where he stood half an hour in the cool, to think of hymn tune to suit the worst sold man on the Lehigh Nalley.-Ex.

AN EXPRESS ROBBERY.
What Prevented it from Being a
 Complete Success.

There has never been time since express messengers were in trusted with large sums of money when they have not been con. spired against by bad men. The number of those who have been killed or wounded in the line of duty would make startling re- cord. Now and then one has gone wrong and landed himself in State prison, but for every such case hundreds have proved their steri- ing integrity against all tempta- tions.
 About twenty years ago l had a run as express messenger west from Chicago Mr several hundred miles. The amount of money passing to and fro was very large, and there were occasions when the run east almost made a millionaire of me for the time being. While the orders to express messengers were not so stringent then the fear of robbery was just as great, and we were provided with stout safes and firearms, and cautioned to never relax our vigilance. The cars which l occupied were prop erly the baggage cars, though l had about a third of the space di. vided off by fine partition. There was a door in this partition which l was supposed to keep lock at all times, but when we got out on the road. and my work was all in hand this door used to nearly always stand open. The baggageman was allowed to come into the little room, and l in turn would enter his part, and sit on the trunks and chat with him. The idea that the railroad hands would ever have designs on the express money nev- CT entered anybOdy's head. More than once l left the baggagenan in charge of from S7j,OOO to Sl50, ,O00 while l went to q meal in the rail. road restaurant.
 For over year, of the run east, l had a baggageman with whom l could chum in all things, and l should have had no fear to hand him the keys of the safe. He met with an accident, and then one man and another had his place un- til four came and went inside of six months. The fifth man l liked least of all. Perhaps this was be- cause he seemed 10 make dead set to secure my good will and confidence. He was tull oi nat tery, overwilling to offer his as- sistance and spend his money; but this conduct had an opposite effect upon me from what he intended. While 1 could not suspect that he had a wicked motive in his actions, I took q dislike to him aud had to force myself to treat him with ci- vility. He was all right with the conductor and brakemen, howev- CT. and heald the engineer and fireman agree that he was cap'- tai good fellow
 It was, of course, against the rules of the road to pass dead heads in the bag.a9e-car, but alter this man, who went by the name of

Another Victim.

No matter how strong may be every link in a chain of circum- stantial evidence, there is always a doubt, lack of certainty, that should weaken it. and cause us to distrust. I remember a story my grandfather used to tell of case in which al innocent life was sac rificed for guilty person. \ boy on . farm, for some misdemeanor, was sentenced by his father, a stern man. with an eye to save a half.pr!ce ticket, to be deprived of his circus privileges, and in addi ton. he was to hoe so many rows of corn while the rest of the family took in the lady's pad act, the horseback riding of Joe Robinson, the clue that killed Captain Cook, i, and other attractions of tine moral show, The boy watched the wagon drive away, with tears In his eyes, and then went at his corn rows with a determination to make a short crop, if it could be worked without detection. But he grew hungry after awhile and went into the house and investigated the pantry There were seven pies it was an American hOusehOld-- seven blackberry pies, baked for Sunday. The boy who was not feeling very well himself, soon placed his anterior to six ot the pies but paused thoughtfully, and with keen regret midway between the seventh. One halt of that he left. He then caught the family cat, thrust her nose and feet into the remains of the pie aud dropp- ed her on the clean, white sanded floor of the pantry that she might track around on it. Then he went back to his corn rows. Evening brought the family home. The boy saw them climb jOyOusly out of the wagon. He noted how the over,ripe apples fell from the trees when his sister jumped over the side and landed flat. footed on the ground. He saw his father let himself down over the double-tree and get himself kicked twice by the rOan colt.
 He saw his mother waiting pa tiently, until somebody had time and inclination to take the baby He saw hls grandmother perch her self on the hub of the hlnd wheel on one foot, while she made wage circumfercntial, wandering excnr- sions for the wide, wide world with the other. He saw his brothers let themselves down oyer the tail gate and sneak away to av old dO- ing any work. At last the wag on was empty, and there were visible signs of excitement about the house. ''The raid is discovered' said the boy, cutting the roots of d healthy stock of corn and carefully milling up a vigorous lancewOOd. Presently he saw pa come out of the house with his gun over his shoulder and the cat under his arm. ''The culprit is arrested" calmly remarked the young robber, as he learned thoughtfully upon his hoe; and watched hls father disappear be- hind tine barn. The sharp report of the gun rang upon the quiet of the sunset hour. "There' said the boy, with the confiden- tial expression of one who knows what he is talking about: "there goes another victim to circum. stantial evidence.-Ex.

PRESCOTT NEVADA COUNTY ARKANSAS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1884,

tu on horses. anu rOue Oack to tHt scene of the robbery. It was in June, and scarcely had we started when thunder storm came up. We rode right down the railroad track until we were, as near as l could .jndge, at the spot where the safe had been thrown out. l remembered of the engineer whist ling for crossing just before the men jumped, and now 1 was going on the theory that they had con tederates waiting at the crossing for them and their plunder. About half a mile from this crossing we had to leave the railroad track and take to the woods. on account of d trestle work over creek. Dur ing all this time the lightning was striking about us with heavy crash es, and the flashes sometimes were so sharp that the horses seemed daZed for a moment.
 When we finally struck the high. way we were half a mile from the crossing. The thunder and light. ming had passed over, but it was still raining heavily, and the night was dark. We turned to ride to the crossing, but had not gone hundred feet before heard human voices. Whoever they be- longed to were coming towards us, and we slipped off our horses and stood under the trees at the edge of the highway. The voices came nearer, and presently l identified that of the baggageman as he said;
 Nobody is to blame for it, but we've lost precious lime and must get ahead now"
 After d bit we made out three black spots in the darkness, and 1 heard sound which convinced me that the safe was being carried by two of the men. It weighed two hundred pounds or more, and though provided with handles was a dead weight to carry under any circumstances. As the trio came up we dashed at them with a yell, each of us having drawn revolv- CT. l got the baggageman, but one of the strangers opened fire on the deputy and wounded him, and both got away, though they were run down inside of a week. McCabe made a clean breast of the matter, as rogues often do. He had been planning for weeks to rob me. A confederate was to be at tue cross. ing with a team to haul off the safe, but he was half an hour late. Then hardly had they loaded up the safe when d bolt of lightning prostrated an old stub and killed one of the horses. He started off after another, but was gone so long that the robbers became i'm patient, and thought to carry the safe to some more secure spot. By the time l got telegram ordering me to Chicago to give particulars l had the money and one of the men, and l also gave the local off cers the clue to overhaul the others. How was l rewarded at headquar- ters! l was investigated, bull dozed, laid under suspicion and finally deprived of my situation on the ground of carele sSness. My testimony sent the three men to prison, and the papers called me a hero, but the express company laid me aside without making charges of any sort, and l was nev. CT re.employed.-N. Y. Sun.

THE WASHING is late agai1,Jane What
l. is the matter this timer Jane-The same
thing as usual, missus; the liquid blueing
froze up and broke the bottle, and the baby
took the cover off the box of dry blueing and
sprinkled it over the floor. Dear me, wish
we could get some kind of blueing that would
give satisfaction. The above is the expert
ence of nearly every housewife in the land.
But thanks to Yankee ingenuity their troubles
in that direction are ended. The Blueine
Manufacturing company have invented
novel article that is vastly superior to any
box or bottled blueing in the world. Because:
1. 1t will not spill or spatte1. 2. 1t will not
settle on the water. 3. 1t will not streak the
clothing. 4. 1t will not injure the most deli
cate fabric, being absolutely free from delete
r1ous drugs. 5. 1t will not freeze and burst the
bottle. causing inconYenienceand loss. as is so
often the case with bottled blueing. And g.
1t will make the clothes white as the snow OH
the White mountains. Blueine is the name.
l package containing IL sheets sold for 10
cents will do "a washings. making it both
superior and cheaper than any blueing on
